I never tried that Marisa fireball bomb trick in 14, but it did look fun. I heavily advocate for stuff like that in these games, it's more fun than just swapping the difficulty up or down. It's always Marisa too. The lv3 death ray in MoF, the rapid switch trick in IN.

Speaking of Yukari being overrated, is ZUN still doing that thing where all the final/extra bosses are meant to be actual deities? He was doing a bit of that for a while and it was boring, feels less creative. I always liked it when the last opponents are just some immensely formidable local weirdos. Like Utsuho is just we gave this bird sun powers for a joke and uh maybe we shouldn't have done that. And then Byakuren's backstory is she did 1000 sit-ups every day and was too nice to the Gensokyo equivalent of nerds so she got stuffed in a locker and stayed in that locker... Until now!

Then on opposite sides of that you've got Kanako, Suwako and Miko who're just something something trying to get more supporters something boring.
I think Junko, Hecatia and the one who gets both roles in 16 was a breaking point of sorts where I just accepted these characters weren't very fun or interesting any more.

Agreed, I find DDC a very underrated game. I was playing UFO, TD, and then DDC in a row after a break from the series and I was surprised at how fun DDC was and also how good the music was despite not hearing much about it.
I haven't played since 17 but Junko was pretty cool, I like how she basically soloed the moon people, who are the most OP characters otherwise. On her own I don't think she's much stronger than Kanako. Touhou 17's Extra boss is basically on the same level as the 4th boss, a mafia leader but not a goddess level either. There's also the fighting games, have you played any of those? Some of the new characters there are pretty cool too.
